Introduction To A Cloud Computing

style of computing where massively scalable IT-

related capabilities are provided “as a service”

using Internet technologies to multiple customers

What is Cloud Computing

Cloud computing refers to the on-demand provision of computational resources

(data, software) via a computer network rather

than from a local computer.

Cloud computing is a general term for anything

that involves delivering hosted services over the

Internet. Cloud computing refers to the delivery of on-demand computational resources

through a computer network.

Cloud computing is a technology that uses the

internet and central remote servers to maintain data

and applications.

Personal cloud computing means having every piece of data you need for every aspect of your life at your fingertips and ready for

use.

Cloud computing is about putting more of your

material out there and less on PCs or servers that a business runs for itself.

Cloud Computing is a paradigm in which

information is permanently stored in servers on the

internet and cached temporarily on clients that

include desktops, entertainment centers,

table computers, notebooks, wall computers,

hand-helds, sensors, monitors, etc

Cloud computing makes infrastructure, applications,

and business processes accessible entirely on the internet without breaking

your budget or cloning your IT department.

Cloud computing is Internet-based development and use of computer technology. It represents a paradigm shift from users running apps on

their standalone, albeit networked, machines.

Cloud computing is simply a set of pooled computing resources and services

delivered over the web. When you diagram the

relationships between all the elements it resembles a

cloud.

Cloud computing is a computing paradigm in

which tasks are assigned to a combination of

connections, software and services accessed over a

network.
